Spoken like someone who hasn’t put a match to gasoline.

Having recently used gas to help start a wood slashings pile on fire, gasoline is very explosive and dangerous.

Diesel will burn in place when lit. Gasoline vaporizes when let out if its container in ‘room temperature’ conditions and creates a vapor fireball when it finds a nearby ignition source.

Never use gasoline as an ‘accelerant’ to start something else on fire —- it’s way too dangerous.
